Izumo City Returned Item (2)
Slight grapefruit aroma
Flat mouthfeel
Subdued and delicate
Sweetness, acidity and umami
Beautiful and long aftertaste
I was under the impression it was more "umami".
(I checked and it was 4 years old. ⭕️)
Is it the sake's production or the rice's quality?
Modified Omachi x Namo yeast x Sanin Ginjo x Sanin Koji. The sake is designed to be easy to drink yet deep, a contradiction of the same design by aging the pressed sake in tanks and adding water to it up to 13%.
Although the sake degree and other easy-to-understand values are not much different than before, it will be ⭕️ lower in glucose (lower in sweetness) and have a different amino acid composition than the Tenun of previous years. It is a type of sake that is suited for long-term aging and heating.
I would say that any temperature is good, but the current shipment is ⭕️ young and astringent, so I would recommend heating it up. We didn't have enough time. I have the impression that it will come together when heated, opened, and stored in the bottle. It may be that the aging process is slower than usual because the air conditioner in the brewery has increased its capacity and the temperature in the cellar has dropped. (Official) Rice

Blessingless Heavenly Calm Series
This series is based on the phrase, "If the heavens are calm, you will never be in trouble. The third series is based on the concept of making gojinshu (sacred sake). Sai" means pure and holy. The taste of 4BY SAI-KAI was very pleasant. The taste of the 4BY Sai Koka was sinking in: the aroma, the taste, the lingering water, and the lingering koji. And the development of the taste and aroma was haiku-like, like a contrast between myself and nature, and the lingering effect in my mind continued.
It was in the midst of realizing that it was becoming more and more difficult to make sake normally as the years went by, so it was a big deal that this saika was so well made. I strongly felt after the sake tasting that it is very meaningful to leave out, subtract, and forget after doing many things. (Official)

■At room temperature
A unique aroma, gentle sourness and sweetness, perhaps derived from koji.
These tastes disappear naturally, as if they are melting away.
Hot (48°C)
The aroma and acidity remain the same, but the sweetness and umami are boosted.
However, the sweetness is mild compared to most hot sake.
Personally, I prefer it at room temperature.
Drinking at home.
It has a mild umami at room temperature and a sharpness with acidity of mizu-hashimoto and mizu-shoto. 40℃ warmed up will give it a softer umami and more sharpness.
I always have a hard time deciding whether to drink Tenju at room temperature or lukewarm.
The concept is to make sake.
Sako Nishiki is used to make sake with 3-day koji yeast. And no yeast is added.
It is truly an ancient Izumo sake.
I was filled with emotion just by listening to the explanation. The taste is clean.
